The game is absolutely lovely, and I actually really liked the weird movement, although the camera moving along with it maybe felt a little strange at times. Either way, a jam is the right place to experiment with interesting ideas like that if you ask me.
I found some of it a bit tricky, mostly because it took me a minute to figure what I was supposed to be doing. Maybe some tutorializing built into the game itself would work here?
Overall, though, I really dig this. And again, the art is just excellent. Great work!
